Maidu

The Maidu are an indigenous people of northern California. They reside in the central Sierra Nevada, in the drainage area of the Feather and American Rivers. Also they reside in Humbug Valley. In Maiduan languages, Maidu means "man".

Local divisions

There are three subcategories of Maidu:

  • The Nisenan or Southern Maidu occupied the whole of the American, Bear, and Yuba River drainages. They live in lands that were previously home to the Martis.
  • The Northeastern or Mountain Maidu, also known as Yamani Maidu, lived on the upper North and Middle forks of the Feather River.
  • The Konkow (Koyom'kawi/Concow) came out of the valley between Cherokee, California, and Pulga, California, along the north fork of the Feather River and its tributaries. The Mechupda live in the area of Chico, California.

    • Population

    Estimates for the pre-contact populations of most native groups in California have varied substantially. Alfred L. Kroeber estimated the 1770 population of the Maidu (including the Konkow and Nisenan) as 9,000.Sherburne F. Cook raised this figure slightly, to 9,500.

    Imported Society

    by: M.O.D.

    They came from the other side
    In bunches at a time
    Crowding up the neighborhood
    To raise the rates of crime
    Some of them got money
    Most of them got shit
    All they do is come here
    To take from our pockets
    Import, import, imported society
    Import, import, imported society
    Import, import, imported society
    Import, import, imported society
    Don't you fucking see
    That you bother me

    So go home now
    Don't come back
    Take your goat
    Get on your boat
    I hate imports
    I don't want to hear their shit
    I hate imports
    Cause I'm just so sick of it
    I just want to
    Live my life without you fucking assholes
    And I want to
    Never see your ass again
    Import, import, imported society
    Import, import, imported society
    Import, import, imported society
    Import, import, imported society
